Articles o content marketing might be flooding the Internet, but only a very small fraction of people believe that their content marketing strategy is on point. While most may believe that the audience is inhibited by the extreme competition in the content market, the responsibility lies mostly with the content writer and publisher. Most resources put into content marketing are often not best utilized, with the publishers not redeeming enough returns from their marketing tactics and efforts put into the content marketing strategy.
Here are 5 Content Marketing KPI’s to keep an eye on
Not all types of traffic will work for your brand and business. It is thus necessary that the content reaches the target audience instead of simply gaining traffic for your content. You must hence figure out what type of content is successful in generating traffic and thus replicate those numbers by putting your effort in the adequate form of content marketing. Google Analytics can help you figure out the online behavior of your website traffic and analyze the demographics of the audience, the number of unique visits, site retention, as well as the bounce rate.
While a blog might look to attract traffic from a particular nationality or international audiences, a brand may instead look for the local audience to engage on their website. Thus, a single piece of content may have to be judged based on various factors like what time and place offers the best engagement for the content. Moreover, with the average time spent on your site per session, you might be able to identify further if the reader shows interest in the content or simply skims through it, thereby making it easier for you to improvise.
Data-driven understanding is needed, for both the publishing businesses or brands to help market the content better for an increased ROI.
Unlike bounce rate, exit rates indicate the percentage of audience who visited another website through a link on yours. Bounce rates, on the contrary, gives an overview of those who left the page immediately after landing on it.
Exit rates can include more than one page in a session, implying that the viewer may not have landed on a page but simply found it while browsing through the website.
The exit rate may give content marketers certain factors to determine the problem with the site and content. They indicate which pages need to be revised or optimized to accommodate the pages to lead to natural further interaction within the website. However, it is as much important to be cautious with the insights that the exit rates provide to you about user experience and content pages.
It is imperative for most content marketing professionals to analyze the work and response, minimizing or emitting the minutest errors and constantly keep on improvising work to win big on your content. With the advent of smartphones, the attention span has been doomed to a mere 8 seconds on an average, making it essentially important for the content to be tailored for the impatient lot. It is possible to trace the heat maps and figure which section of the page grasps most attention and views and which sections are being left entirely ignored with certain tools like Crazy Egg.
This information is critical to emit all errors and understand what has most negatively effected your page views, in order to optimize the return on investment on your blog.
The Click-Through-Rate doesn’t essentially have to do with those optimizing and clicking everything on Google Ads. Rather, it is needed that every content marketer tracks his CTR, an important metric for all publishers or writers engaged in online content marketing. Once you have achieved a good CTR score figure and maintaining it, it is possible to increase your impression numbers, thus positioning your content at the top of search results by your target audience. Your website will thus be more discoverable to the desired traffic while your conversion numbers are set to see a boom.
Backlinks can influence your website’s performance and authority tremendously, not simply by improving the organic rankings in search but moreover with attracting great referral audience. A high-quality backlink linking to your domain can have a huge boost for your SEO as Google tends to index the linked pages faster. However, with so much competition around, earning backlinks and manually getting them are different and will perform differently for the website.
A plethora of resources online, to seek information on almost every subject, make it increasingly important for you to understand the market and publish content that is engaging enough to drive the traffic to like and share in an instant. It is important to identify what is most trending in the niche and then write about it in a manner that it increases the intrigue in the reader. We are all instantly driven to content that seems to be satisfying our curiosity, aren’t we?
These key performance indicators, if handled in the correct manner will help elevate your efforts by generating better traffic engagement out of your content marketing tactics. A few metric stats and strategy is something every business need to have in hand in order to perform better, and for your content marketing requirements, the strategy is well laid in these KPI’s.

I did my research because I know a lot of SEO companies exist and wanted to choose the right one for me. Wisdek's reviews on BBB were good and they explained themselves quite well in my opinion. I approached them for a website design and online marketing program. They took the time to understand everything that I wanted to include in my website and made recommendations even before I signed with them to ensure everything was user friendly and also stayed within Google's guidelines. Next, they treated me with respect and advised us of how long it would take to get ourselves noticed online. All reports are delivered on time and everything is explained to us monthly. Due to their efforts I have been able to gain more clients and people to my website so If you are looking for a company that will simplify the Website and online marketing process to you and show you realistic results at a good price, Wisdek is the way to go.
We started working with Wisdek in June of 2016. We have approached them with an idea that shortly became our core business. They developed our website within one month. We were very happy with the process and communications. We just opened our store location and Wisdek's technicians helped us set up email, hosting and Google maps. We are very excited to start our search engine optimization campaign and grow our business nationwide.
My experiences with Wisdek SEO has exceeded my expectations with the impressive scope of the program. Like many business owners, we find it difficult to stay on top of many of the changes and updates on the SEO industry to stay ahead. We have to rely on experts like Wisdek to do all of the research required to keep up to date with the internet visibility needed to support my business. I look forward to the upgrade, and I look forward to a continued partnership with Wisdek.

We've worked with Wisdek right from the beginning to develop and launch our SEO equipped website. We've grown tremendously on account of their SEO and funnel optimization services. Thanks to Wisdek we were able to take our initial steps onto the market in a quick, safe and inexpensive way. We made the decision to jump in with both feet an utilize almost every unique service that they offer and we're glad we did. Today we have over 1 million clients that are getting organized, getting promoted and getting paid using our application.
I’ve been with Wisdek for over 2 years now and I am very pleased with their service. What was promised, was delivered. About 3 months after I started I began to enjoy good rankings across Google, Yahoo and Bing. Also, the cost was not unreasonable! Wisdek’s service delivers more leads than posting an add in an old fashioned printed directory and is more affordable than print listings were 5 years ago!
Today I have expanded my services with Wisdek from my beginnings in SEO, to PPC and Content Network Advertising. The return on investment has been incredible. I truly believe Wisdek offers their clients cutting edge marketing services and puts businesses where people are searching. I would like to recommend Wisdek to anyone who needs consistent leads for their business.
Northgate Chiropractic & Massage Therapy Centre in Calgary has used Web based advertising and marketing since 2004. As a result of continual investment and effort, our web site always came up first in local searches. The payoff came 3 years ago when people really began to use search as a way of finding our services. Last fall, our internet traffic slowed considerably and we noted that our search listing had dropped from first on page one to the middle of page four, literally making us disappear.
One of our service providers, Eran Hurvitz of Wisdek, explained to us that Google had changed their rules for search and were imposing a penalty on our web site for having back links. (The very thing they promoted previously as improving our web site standing). This penalty resulted in our listing being dropped to page four. There were thousands of these links and it looked like a significant job to remove these links. Eran offered the services of Wisdek to clean up these links and petition Google to remove this penalty. It was initially estimated to take 3 to 6 months to complete this task. To our great pleasure, Wisdek achieved the penalty removal in just over one month. We are now back on top for our local area and are very pleased with Wisdek’s service.
I would strongly recommend Wisdek and for web based service.
Wisdek has provided me with a service I need to make my business grow. It has saved me a substantial amount of time by outsourcing and has allowed me to generate more revenue and build more customer relationships.
My clients are international, there is no better way to reach them than online!
Our Firearm Safety Training business did not exist before we started working with Business Media and Wisdek. Business Media built us a beautiful SEO-Ready website from scratch that is now pulling in leads left right and center. Wisdek applied their most affordable SEO package for local coverage, and it was so effective that we started to rank all across the PROVINCE!
Business is so good that the phones are now ringing daily. We are happy to report that we will be opening a second location as well as a massive firing range in the next few months to capitalize on the overflow. We are actually going to upgrade our campaign with Wisdek to push our business even harder!!
